Bioethics And Nazi Human Experimentation
[ send me this paper ]
A 26 page paper. Four questions were posed for this paper; the responses to those questions are embedded in the text. Those questions are: Is it morally acceptable to use data obtained in Nazi Germany during World War II? Is the data so valuable that we should allow its use for treatments, etc.? By using the data, are we complicit or condoning the data procurement? Is the Jewish Community taking a unique stand, regarding their position? A lot of background is needed before addressing these issues. The paper first explains what bioethics is and identifies some of the issues in bioethics. The paper discusses the long history of medical experiments on humans. This moves the discussion into the human experiments conducted in the Nazi concentration camps. The next section provides some background on Jewish bioethics and comments on other religious groups who share the same opinions. Bioethical dilemmas directly related to the questions are discussed. The last section responds directly to the initial questions. Bibliography lists 17 sources.

Book Review / "Ordinary Men"
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report analytically reviews Christopher Browning's book entitled "Ordinary Men"-- an insightful look at how a few "common" people with no prior record of violence became blood-thirsty Nazis during wartime. Browning studied the war records of Nazi Police Battalion 101 to write this book and makes a very strong point of the fact that the Holocaust can literally happen anywhere..that any group of people can become Nazis and that these were, after all, just "Ordinary Men"...

Borowski’s View of the Holocaust
[ send me this paper ]
A five-page paper analyzing the view of the Holocaust expressed in two short stories from Tadeusz Borowski’s “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman.” There is a spiritual element to the way most Jews approached their fate that Borowski’s narrator cannot empathize with at all; for him everything is a matter of sheer expediency, and people who refuse to cooperate with the necessary politics of camp life deserve not pity but contempt. Stories discussed are the title story “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman” and “A Day at Harmenz”. Bibliography lists three sources.

Cambodian Women and the Khmer Rouge
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report
discusses the genocide that took place in Cambodia during the
totalitarian regime of the Khmer Rouge in 1975-1979. Various
empirical studies reported that Cambodian women experienced the
most extensive trauma. These women were victims of physical
violence, often of a sexual nature, perpetrated by their fellow
citizens. They were exposed to multiple forms of emotional abuse,
torture, and forced labor. Many witnessed the deaths or
executions of their husbands, and most lost at least one, and
often several, of their children. Extended kinship networks, so
much a part of their cultural heritage and their everyday
functioning, were destroyed. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
